Sustainability is not about sacrifice but about something we all learned in kindergarten, not taking more than our fair share. It's also about feeling grateful instead of feeling entitled. Your words about fidelity are wonderful too. As in art or in sports, you need boundaries to define "space" for creativity and joy. A game needs rules or boundaries; without them, people's actions are literally meaningless. I really like this posting.
